1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
180 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 11.8S0 124.3E0 TO 13.5S9
116.3E1 WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT
JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS
TIME. WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 20 TO 25 KNOTS.
METSAT IMAGERY AT 040530Z2 INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS
LOCATED NEAR 11.9S1 123.3E9. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 16 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION HAS CONTINUED TO ORGANIZE DURING
THE PAST 12 HOURS. CYCLONIC ROTATION OF THE AREA IS EVIDENT IN
ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY. PREVIOUS SYNOPTIC DATA HAS ALSO
SUGGESTED A LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) ASSOCIATED WITH THE
CONVECTION. THE AREA IS WITHIN A REGION OF WEAK TO MODERATE VERTICAL
SHEAR AND DIRECTLY BENEATH THE AXIS OF THE 200MB RIDGE. THIS HAS
PROVIDED IMPROVED OUTFLOW ALOFT ALLOWING FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT.
MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS IS ESTIMATED AT 1001 MB. THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE
NEXT 24 HOURS IS NOW UPGRADED TO GOOD.
3. THIS ALERT VALID UNTIL 050630Z4.//

TROPICAL CYCLONE 32S HAS DEVELOPED NORTHWEST OF AUSTRALIA AND HAS
TRACKED TOWARDS THE WEST-SOUTHWEST AT 8 KNOTS DURING THE PAST 6
HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 042330Z2 SATELLITE IMAGERY
AND A PREVIOUS TRMM IMAGE. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON
SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF T2.0 (30 KNOTS). TC 32S HAS
BEEN STEERED BY THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH. THIS RIDGE IS
FORECAST TO REMAIN THE DOMINANT STEERING INFLUENCE AS THE SYSTEM
CONTINUES ON A WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD. AN APPROACHING MID LATTITUDE TROUGH CURRENTLY WEST OF THE
SYSTEM MAY BEGIN TO FORCE A MORE SOUTHWESTWARD TRACK NEAR THE 48
HOUR FORECAST POSITION. CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF TC 32S. WEAK TO MODERATE VERTICAL SHEAR
AND GOOD OUTFLOW ALOFT SUPPORTED BY THE 200 MB RIDGE AXIS WILL ALLOW
THE SYSTEM TO INTENSIFY NEAR CLIMATOLOGICALLY DURING THE ENTIRE
FORECAST PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 050000Z5 IS 12
FEET. THIS WARNING SUPERSEDES AND CANCELS NAVPACMETOCCEN 040621Z APR

TROPICAL CYCLONE 32S (GWENDA) HAS TRACKED TOWARDS THE WEST-SOUTHWEST
AT 11 KNOTS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 051130Z0 SATELLITE
IMAGERY. THE WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON A SATELLITE CURRENT
INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T3.0 (45 KNOTS). TC 32S HAS TRACKED UNDER THE
STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST.
THIS IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE STEERING THE SYSTEM IN GENERALLY THE
SAME DIRECTION DURING THE INITIAL 24 HOURS. AN APPROACHING MID-
LATTITUDE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TURNING TC 32S (GWENDA) MORE
TOWARDS THE SOUTH AFTER THIS PERIOD AND THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST. TC 32S HAS RAPIDLY INTENSIFIED AND CONSOLIDATED
OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST DURING
THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. INCREASED VERTICAL SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH
THE APPROACHING TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN INHIBITING FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT AFTER THIS PERIOD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
051200Z8 IS 16 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 060300Z9 (DTG 060153Z5) AND

REMARKS:
060300Z9 POSITION NEAR 14.9S4 116.9E7.
TROPICAL CYCLONE 32S (GWENDA) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWESTWARD NORTHWEST OF
AUSTRALIA AT 10 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION
AND INTENSITY ARE BASED UPON 052330Z3 ANIMATED VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY WITH CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 65 AND 75 KNOTS.
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 32S CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS
IT TRACKS UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO
THE SOUTHEAST. TROPICAL CYCLONE 32S IS FORECAST TO TRACK
SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD AS THE AFOREMENTIONED
RIDGE IS WEAKENED BY AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH. ALTHOUGH TC
32S IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AT THE NORMAL
RATE, INCREASED VERTICAL SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING
TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN INHIBITING FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF TC 32S.
INDEED, A LOW PROBABILITY FORECAST SCENARIO EXISTS IN WHICH TC 32S
UNDERGOES SIGNIFICANT VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AFTER 36 HOURS AND BEGINS
TO WEAKEN. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 060000Z6 IS 18 FEET.
THE JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER IS SWITCHING TO SIX-HOURLY WARNINGS
ON THIS SYSTEM UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. NEXT WARNINGS AT 060900Z5

REMARKS:
062100Z9 POSITION NEAR 17.1S9 116.5E3.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 32S (GWENDA) HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARD OFF THE
NORTHWEST COAST OF AUSTRALIA AT 06 KNOTS OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS. THE
WARNING POSITION AND INTENSITY ARE BASED UPON 061730Z7 ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY WITH CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 125
AND 140 KNOTS. SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TC 32S CONTINUES TO
INTENSIFY AND HAS A 16 NM DIAMETER EYE, BUT SOME DEEP CONVECTION IS
NOW BEING DRAWN TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BEGINS
TO INCREASE. THE TRACK PHILOSOPHY REMAINS UNCHANGED AS TROPICAL
CYCLONE 32S CONTINUES TO BE STEERED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE, BUT THE FORECAST TRACK IS SLIGHTLY EAST OF THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST DUE TO THE RECENT SOUTHWARD JOG IN THE TRACK. UW-CIMSS SHEAR
CHARTS INDICATE THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS INCREASING OVER TC 32S,
WHICH WOULD INHIBIT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. HENCE, TC 32S IS FORECAST
TO INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS AND THEN REMAIN AT THAT INTENSITY
BY THE 48 HOUR FORECAST POSITION. THE WIND RADII HAVE BEEN REVERSED
FOR THE FIRST THREE WARNING POSITIONS DUE TO SATELLITE ANALYSIS OF
THE CLOUD SHIELD WHICH SHOWS MORE DEEP CONVECTION WEST OF THE SYSTEM.
VE HEIGHT AT 061800Z5 IS 25 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 070300Z0
(DTG 070153Z6), 070900Z6 (DTG 070753Z2), 071500Z3 (DTG 071353Z9) AND

CYCLONE 32S HAS MOVED SOUTH OF THE 200 MB RIDGE AXIS AND MUCH OF THE
DEEP CONVECTION IS NOW DRAWING OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST. HENCE, TC 32S
